Today and every day, equal work deserves equal pay.
I am a proud cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation to put an end to pay discrimination. When we close the gap for everyone, we all win. #EqualPayDay
My office’s STEM Scholars Program is open to high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and math and reside in IL-06. Apply here by April 6, 2025: casten.house.gov/services/ste...
The Trump Administration's recklessness has put our national security at risk.
No one is this incompetent just once. This is just one example of how Trump appointees are willing to put our national security on the line to cover their own reputation.
March is Women’s History Month. I appreciated the opportunity to partner with the Lombard Historical Society to discuss my Period PROUD Act and the remarkable accomplishments of Ellen Martin, the first woman to vote in Illinois.

The Trump Admin just lifted sanctions against a company at the heart of North Korea's ability to hack crypto funds to finance their nuclear weapons arsenal.
Stop me if you've heard this before, but the Trump Administration is, once again, making life easier for dictators and foreign adversaries.
Earlier this week, I toured Cornell Forge Company in Bedford Park. We discussed the importance of the forging industry in the supply chain for different markets, including critical industries in defense and agriculture.
Congress must do everything possible to make our communities safer from gun violence. I teamed up with Rep. Hank Johnson and Senators Amy Klobuchar and Gary Peters to introduce legislation to combat the increased use and proliferation of dangerous gun conversion devices. Read more:

Today is Medicaid Day of Action. In IL-06, the 130,479 people on Medicaid are at risk of losing their health care under Republican budget plans. This includes 55,585 children under the age of 19 and 17,000 seniors over 65 in IL-06.
We must protect America's single largest health care provider.
Over the weekend, I was honored to attend the annual Ramadan interfaith Iftar hosted by the Baet-ul-Jaamay Mosque in Glen Ellyn. I enjoyed the opportunity to connect with the community during the Ramadan season.
While there may be disagreement with Mr. Khalil’s speech, it is his Constitutional right to express his political views. Every American should be outraged by this brazen and dangerous abuse of power.
Weaponizing the immigration system to crush & chill protected free speech puts our nation on the side of authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin & Xi Jinping.
I joined over 100 of my House Democratic colleagues in demanding answers from the Trump Administration about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.
UPDATE: This event has reached capacity. I appreciate everyone’s interest in this town hall and am working to get another one on the books soon. Stay tuned for updates!

My office has been contacted by countless constituents who want to do everything they can to put an end to the fear and confusion caused by the Trump Administration. This fight is about standing up for the American Dream, the Constitution, democracy, and the well-being of your family and community.
The House Republican appropriations resolution cuts funding for senior housing programs, veterans' health care, and election security.
It serves only to further empower Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Both my Illinois and Washington, D.C. offices are accepting applications for the Summer 2025 internship program! Applications will close on April 1, 2025. For more information, visit: casten.house.gov/services/int...
Using the power of the government to target your enemies and scapegoat immigrants has resonance with the darkest moments of history, including but not limited to the Holocaust. America is better than this.
The Administration's actions undermine due process and are fundamentally un-American.
The Trump Administration is not a good-faith actor on matters of antisemitism. Their record of embracing neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, support of Nazi salutes by Elon Musk and Steve Bannon, and Donald Trump’s own assertion that he only wants “Jews to count his money” speak for themselves.
